And I generally think most vegetables taste terrible. What's the point of going on about personal preferences here?

Some need to be cooked to become edible, others at least fermented; granted many could be eaten raw, just not "all".

When I used to juice I did a combo. I would eat some raw veggies while cutting them up for juicing. Then, I would eat a can of rinsed beans for protein(warmed with pepper).

I've tried to eat the same quantity of raw veggies as what I would juice; LOTS OF WORK.

Did I need that much juice? Was I getting the equiv or better of benefit from drinking juice as I would have eating entirely raw? IDK.

Touché. Excellent point.
